French Countryside Painting by Conrad Kickert, 1930

This is a wonderful landscape painting depicting a residence nestled at the base of a mountain in the French countryside. Painted by the Dutch artist Conrad Kickert (Dutch, 1882-1965), the artwork is signed in the lower left and dated 1930. The colors are vibrant and the artist use of thickly applied paint give the painting and impasto look and feel. In person the painting shows the confidence and skill that Kickert was known for.
